App Store Featured
Getting featured on the App Store is part art, part science, and this skill walks you through both sides. It covers what Apple's editorial team actually looks for (SwiftUI adoption, design quality, compelling stories), how to use the self-nomination form, and when to pitch (2-4 weeks before major updates, around Apple events, never after shipping bugs). The readiness scoring system is solid for identifying gaps before you waste Apple's time. Honestly, the most useful parts are the pitch template and the In-App Events calendar strategy, since events are basically self-serve featuring. If your app is below 4.5 stars or hasn't been updated recently, fix that first before using any of this.
